As part of International Women’s Day 2020, Ifrin Fittock, the General Manager of the not-for-profit organisation Sister Works talks about the organisation’s advances in empowering migrant women, including its current collaboration UN Women’s Second Chance Education and Vocational Learning (SCE) program.
Refugee Luz Restrepo and a group of skilled supporters established SisterWorks in 2013 to enable women refugees, asylum seekers and migrants to build their skills and self-confidence. Over time SisterWorks has broadened its program to include education and training, and now includes a partnership with the UN Women’s Second Chance Education and Vocational Learning. SisterWorks continues to give women better opportunities to live and contribute outside the house and to move towards Gender Equality.
